Changes from last month:
GMP documents submitted by
Barton Malow were not
acceptable as they exceeded
available funds and limited
the CM’s liability. The CM
was asked to do some selective
demolition and consultant was
asked to write a roofing
performance spec. This will
hopefully result in a more
acceptable GMP proposal.
